Description

Press release from West Chester University: January 20, 2022 NETWORK CONNECTION showcases the work of Erica Loustau, Associate Professor in West Chester University's Department of Art + Design. Loustau's Network Connection expands the imagery of one of her recent sculptures to a room-sized installation. Loustau says, "The large-scale environmental work explores natural systems of movement and their geometric underpinnings. Mixed-media elements float through the space of the Knauer Gallery to become both a foil to their architectonic environment and to challenge the viewer's perception of the space. Clusters of individual elements become a metaphor for how we might find fluidity and synchronicity through collaboration, cooperation, and common purpose." WE THE WOMEN features thirty-nine original poster designs exploring the subject of women's rights. The show's creators are part of a visual initiative made up of female, female-identifying, and non-binary designers who use their talents to bring awareness to women's rights in the United States. Designers and organizers Michele Cooper and Kelly Holohan invited artists to contribute their talents in the form of poster designs. Each designer's unique perspective is represented in the collection and is a response to attacks on women's rights. Visit the project website at WetheWomenDesign.com to view the collection and to purchase prints of the work. All faculty, staff, students, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth when indoors. Face masks may be worn when outdoors, but it is not an obligation of this policy notice. Mask and COVID-19 safety measures at West Chester University will continue to be updated here.
